Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When eight-year-old Fin and his mum Lindy travel to spend Christmas with his Gran in Sydney, Fin assumes they’ll return to their isolated country property – the only home he’s ever known. But he soon discovers that this large and crumbling riverside house, surrounded by bush and unwelcoming neighbours, is his home now. As Lindy’s fragile emotions fracture under the weight of Gran’s disapproval and the pressure of old memories, Fin holds onto a tenderness of spirit and the simple clarity he has learnt from his isolation on the farm – an insight that hasn’t yet been clouded by the secret codes of adulthood. But as the life he has known crumbles around him, Fin learns that no-one is coming to his rescue, and he sets off on a journey to find his way home. ‘I loved this wise, tender, funny novel. Fin, having won my heart, will live there forever.’ – Fiona McFarlane ‘Home and Other Hiding Places is an astoundingly deep dive into the hearts and heartbreaks of one family – sharply observed, poignant and unputdownable.’ – Felicity Castagna, author of No More Boats

Download or read book Home and Other Places written by Trivarna Hariharan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is a poet's home? Beneath the moonlight? Or sandwiched in the compartment of a train? In the lap of the grandmother? Or in the company of a friend? In the nondescript address in our mind? The poet sews words into a beautiful crochet called poetry and presents it to us through her young and innocent thoughts. Her fresh perspective and the zeal to explore is evident in her verses. Home and Other Places is an expanse of journeys that seeks to understand everyday definitions of belongingness. It is an expression of various memories that separates the self from others, and gives each story its due. It is a collection of poetry that acclimatizes itself to its environment, and stays grounded by it.

Or Baarle, a patchwork city of Dutch and Flemish enclaves where crossing the street can involve traversing national borders.

Book excerpt: The landmark survey that celebrates all the places where people hang out--and is helping to spawn their revival A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice "Third places," or "great good places," are the many public places where people can gather, put aside the concerns of home and work (their first and second places), and hang out simply for the pleasures of good company and lively conversation. They are the heart of a community's social vitality and the grassroots of a democracy. Author Ray Oldenburg portrays, probes, and promotes th4ese great good places--coffee houses, cafes, bookstores, hair salons, bars, bistros, and many others both past and present--and offers a vision for their revitalization. Eloquent and visionary, this is a compelling argument for these settings of informal public life as essential for the health both of our communities and ourselves. And its message is being heard: Today, entrepreneurs from Seattle to Florida are heeding the call of The Great Good Place--opening coffee houses, bookstores, community centers, bars, and other establishments and proudly acknowledging their indebtedness to this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson's delectable first novel, announced the arrival of 'a fresh voice with a mind behind it,' as Muriel Spark has written. 'She is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent deeply abides'--and her reputation and accomplishment have grown with each of her five subsequent novels. Now, with her first collection--seventeen stories that span her entire career--Jeanette Winterson reveals all the facets of her extraordinary imagination. Whether transporting us to bizarre new geog-raphies--a world where sleep is illegal, an island of diamonds where the rich wear jewelry made of coal--or revealing so perfectly, so exactly, the joy and pain of owning a brand-new dog, she proves herself a master of the short form. For her readers, a celebration--and for everyone else, a wonderful introduction to this highly original and consistently daring writer, who has become 'one of our most brilliant, visionary storytellers' (San Francisco Chronicle)
